What we know about US-Ukraine minerals deal
Ukraine says it has agreed to the terms of a “preliminary” deal that would give the US access to its deposits of rare earth minerals.
Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky said he hoped the initial agreement with the US “will lead to further deals”, but confirmed no American security guarantees have been agreed yet.
US President Donald Trump said a deal would help American taxpayers “get their money back” for aid sent to Ukraine throughout the war and give Kyiv “the right to fight on” against Russia.
